This video of a 12-year-old Little League pitcher demonstrates Momentum Pitching, a new and effective way to help pitchers not only produce more velocity quickly but be more effective against hitters since moving faster gives hitters less time to react. There is no balance position in Momentum Pitching since a balance point limits the ability…

How can Little League, high school and college pitchers improve their pitching velocity? The latest sports science research has proven that pitching velocity must come from improving pitching mechanics rather than strength. This video show Giants’ Tim Lincecum’s pitching mechanics at different points of his career. They are worth studying. I was especially glad to see that…

Why do coaches teach pitchers to reach a balance position? Is getting to a balance or gathering position valuable for maximizing pitching mechanics, improving velocity and control while reducing the risk of injury? I believe the answer is no. My opinion is based on sports science research which has concluded that the balance position for pitchers is a…

The towel drill for improving pitching mechanics is one of the three biggest time wasters for pitchers. The other two are long toss and other various pitching drills, all of which only serve to create slow and robotic pitching mechanics with less velocity. The towel drill is very popular and supposedly used to improve various…

Here are 11 ways that sports science believes pitchers could dramatically improve in 2009: Stop looking for magic ways to improve velocity – there are none. Stop wasting time on what has not “proven” to work to boost performance, such as long toss, pitching drills, weight training, short distance bullpens, throwing at less than game…

Bringing The Gap Between Fundamentals & Innovations In Pitching.

In 2004 we developed the first evidence-based pitching program based on sports science research, instead of common coaching beliefs. Through this research we've also learned video analysis is still the best and most accurate way to assess pitching mechanics. We not only show pitchers at all levels their faults and the adjustments, but work with there style in order to improve their velocity and control, all while reducing their risk of arm injuries. The true difference about our coaching methods are simple, our clients will truly feel the difference and that's the only true way towards improvement and development.
